What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: Grade II Listed building constructed around an 18th Century oblong-shaped. house. This much extended and adapted building functioned as a private home until the 1960s when it was converted into flats and several staff from the BBC working on Borough Hill were housed here. In the 1970s, it housed the Daventry and District Ex-Servicemen's Club and Institute Ltd and was later extended and used as offices for Lowfield Distribution Ltd. In 2010, it became the home of Daventry Town Council and Daventry Museum, housing many local treasures relating to the town. Recorded plaque organisation: Daventry Heritage Trail.
The building at plaque 75056, originally an 18th-century house, has served various functions including private residence, BBC staff accommodation, ex-servicemen's club, offices, and since 2010, houses Daventry Town Council and Museum, reflecting its adaptive reuse in local community life.
